THE BURDEN OF THE RING

The physical, mental, and moral struggle of the Ringbearers is represented by Corruption.

Corruption is added to the Ring-bearers each time that the Ring is used to counter the effects of a successful Hunt, or as a result of various Event cards.

Corruption is removed from the Ring-bearers by resting in a friendly City or Stronghold or by the use of certain special abilities and Event cards.

Each time Corruption is added or removed, the Free Peoples player adjusts the Corruption counter on the Fellowship Track accordingly.

As soon as the Corruption counter reaches 12 Corruption points on the Fellowship Track, the Free Peoples player immediately loses the game.
